Wordi Gras

Just sayin’….

02/13/2026

Hey everyone. Just wanted a send a reminder about a few things leading up to this weekend and share some information to frequently asked questions:

While weather may not be ideal the event will go on as normal. The only reason Wordi Gras even started was due to less than ideal weather conditions – we encourage everyone to just make the best of the situation and enjoy the day however that works best for themselves. Reminder that there will be large heated tents and indoor access to the bands where weather will not be a factor.

PLEASE be respectful to the city and resident’s property. Wordi Gras is not about littering or
vandalism. It’s much better than that. For parking areas see the map on the page for details.

LIVE MUSIC WILL BE AT THE RUSTIC, YELLOW DOG, AND THE WORDEN AMERICAN LEGION ALL DAY

Street Vendors will be out and about.

Please remember that this is a Redneck Mardi Gras… so that means it’s a cash only event. There are ATM’s in the bar but we recommend avoiding the lines and bringing cash. If you don’t have cash alternate forms of payment including goats, cows, or horses may be accepted, however this is highly dependent on market conditions, so cash is recommended. And gents we don't think you can trade your wife or girlfriend for a beer either but may worth a shot.

Please do not bring any outside beer/liquor.

For those entering floats in the parade please plan on lining up by no later than 2:00pm. Lineup is first come first serve. If you have any questions prior to Saturday send us a message.
Please remember this is a family friendly event so please act accordingly during the parade. Ensure that the kiddos get WAY more candy than their parents would like. Please no alcohol being thrown from your floats. Feel free to throw beads, koozies, or pretty much anything else you’d want. Just no booze. The celebration will become more of an adult theme once the parade is over.

If you have 4-wheelers or motorcycles please do not peel out or pop wheelies. Also, if you are bringing animals, especially mules or horses, please be sure they are not easily spooked as the crowd is basically right on top of them.

Most of all just have fun and see you Saturday.
